Isospin dependence of balance energy in heavy-ion collisions

ABSTRACT Based on the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics (IQMD) picture, we
attempt to understand the nature of transverse flow in
$_{28}Ni^{58}+_{28}Ni^{58}$ and $_{26}Fe^{58}+_{26}Fe^{58}$ systems at wide
range of energies and impact parameters. The isospin dependence of balance
energy in transverse flow is clearly visible. The results are compared with the
experimental data available.

[Show abstract][Hide abstract]ABSTRACT:
We present a systematic study of the energy of vanishing flow by considering symmetric colliding nuclei (between $^{12}$C and $^{238}$U) at normalized impact parameters using variety of equations of state (with and without momentum dependent interactions) as well as different nucleon-nucleon cross sections. A perfect power law mass dependence is obtained in all the cases which passes through calculated points nicely. Further, the choice of impact parameter affects the energy of vanishing flow drastically, demanding a very accurate measurement of the impact parameter. However, the energy of vanishing flow is less sensitive towards the equation of state as well as its momentum dependence. Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures

[Show abstract][Hide abstract]ABSTRACT:
Using the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model we study the isospin effects on the disappearance of flow for the reactions of $^{58}Ni$ + $^{58}Ni$ and $^{58}Fe$ +$^{58}Fe$ as a function of impact parameter. We found good agreement between our calculations and experimentally measured energy of vanishing flow at all colliding geometries. Our calculations reproduce the experimental data within 5%(10%) at central (peripheral) geometries.
